Witness remarkable transformations in psychological well-being both immediately after intervention and four months later. The study demonstrates sustained improvements over a remarkable four-year period, particularly noteworthy in low-resource areas with large populations facing extreme stress.<\/p>

The evaluation of the FGA Approach reveals its adaptability to diverse trauma histories and levels of distress, underscoring its efficacy in fostering self-care, resilience, and community cohesion. Equally impactful in both small and large groups, the FGA Approach proves its potential for swift deployment in low-resource adverse settings.<\/p>

The encouraging outcomes prompted LemonAid Fund to join forces with YOUR WELLBEING CENTER. This collaboration resulted in the development of a comprehensive initiative named Inspiring Bright Futures (IBF), with the FGA Approach as its cornerstone. The initiative commenced with a pilot FGA training in November 2019. Subsequently, in February 2020, LemonAid Fund and YOUR WELLBEING CENTER initiated the trainer-of-trainers program for the national strategy of IBF.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/section>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This was an evaluation of the IBF FGA Approach conducted in Rugango, Rwanda.\u00a0 We explored both short-term results of the FGA workshops conducted in November 2019 and February 2020 and then long-term results in April 2021 during the annual Genocide against the Tutsi\u2019s Remembrance time. Participants included those who attended the trainings and a number from the Rugango community.<\/p>

METHOD:\u00a0 This was a 2-Event evaluation research study (see Figure<\/em> 1<\/em>) during November 2019, February 2020 and May 2021. The Event 1 occurred during the IBF FGA trainings with YOUR WELLBEING CENTER led by Dr. Nancy Peddle. The second event was led by Jeanne Muhawehimana and YOUR WELLBEING CENTER. The data was collected from the participants of the workshop as well as a select group of those in the community who did not participate in the IBF FGA Approach workshops.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/section>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
